KLE/NFELOER (�H e a l t h& Safety Procedure HSP-5-07 Version 10 NOISE AND HEARING Number: Number: PROTECTION Published 5/4/2018 Revised N/A Date: Date: 5-07.1 Scope and Applicability When engineering, administrative, and other controls are not capable of reducing potential worker exposures to high noise levels, the proper hearing protection shall be used. In any workplace where hearing protection is necessary to help protect the health of the employee, the employer must establish and implement a written hearing protection program with works ite-s pecifi c procedures. This program applies to all workers who may be required to wear hearing protection. In general, the main source of compliance requirements can be found in the Federal OSHA standards found at 29 CFR 1910 (Occupational Safety and Health Standards) and 1926 (Safety and Health Standards for Construction). However, in some cases there are state or local regulations or client specifications that are more stringent than the Federal OSHA standards. Kleinfelder will adhere to the most stringent of the applicable requirements. 5-07.2 Goals and Objectives This Noise and Hearing Protection Program serves as a guideline for medical surveillance, hearing protection selection and use, limitations, maintenance, evaluation of the program, special considerations, and voluntary use.
